MEXICAN MOVIE POSTER RAMPAGE PART II

Part II in an ongoing series celebrating the art of cheaply drawn Mexican movie posters. Taken directly from the www.antiqbook.com catalog. Beware, this one is huge (at least by my standards).



Death in the Rio Grande - You wish you had a name as cool as Jorge Luke. I'm positive those guys on the right are just doing their version of Excitebike Live.



Three something - I guess someone decided to half-ass that brick wall behind them. Does the red truck on the left have hydraulics or something?



I like how Jose Jose's double name drips down to frame his cheesy ass. I can't respect a guy with two of the same goddamn name.



A big part of me wishes his hair was real.



At first I thought this guy was ready to spear an anchor. Who the hell goes shark hunting in a shitty little boat like that? This guy deserves to be eaten by the anchor shark.



Only mexicans would think they'd be able to outrun a freaking jet plane. That or they're trying to outrun the piss-yellow portal of doom.



Ho-Ly Shit.



The tag-line implies there is going to be "forms of exotic vengeance". My guess is that third guy is trying to take a shit. Seriously, one of those people doesn't belong.



...



Actually, this one is kinda cool.



The grandfather has a plan? - Looks like that creepy old guy is about to fist the guy cowering in his bed. Bow down before the Old Man's fist!



I guess to be a superhero in Mexico all you need to do is to put your cap lower.



I don't get it, the helicopter is flying into that man's crotch.



The Bricklayer - His face says it all. And is that a fucking zombie on the right?



Nothing can prepare you for the badassery of ALTO PODER.



He has a crossbow, you don't, he wins.



Is the selling point of this movie really a guy with a leather jacket and sunglasses?



If there were anyone to protect Tijuana, it would definitely be Mario Almada.



This movie better have a scene were a guy fights newspapers.



Is this a Bond film?



Pretty much what all mexican comedies look like. I can't tell if the paint can is screaming or not.



See kids? This is what happens when you're a boxer, you get all your teeth knocked out.



Trying to exorcise a horse is about the stupidest idea anyone has ever had.



I'd be screaming too if I were stuck trying to run from the big gay truck.

Until next time. I hope you have enjoyed this latest installment of MEXICAN MOVIE POSTER RAMPAGE.

MEXICAN MOVIE POSTER RAMPAGE!

I proudly present to you a series of amazing movie posters for historic pieces of Mexican Cinema. Directly from www.antiqbook.com these posters perfectly represent why the drawn poster is so much better than the pieces of photoshop shit we've been force fed (Need an example, just look up the recent Watchmen posters). What I do know, is that none of these movies are even a quarter as good as their own posters.



Carro Rojo (Red Car) - Not much to see here other than this is how all Mexican action movies are sold. Check out the latino James Dean just under our hero's cheek. We can also see the tradition in Mexican action movie posters that must always feature a helicopter somewhere in the poster.



I'm gonna go ahead and quit on the title thing, you can look it up yourself. Carrera Contra La Muerte features action superstar Mario Almada (you'll be seeing a lot of him in this series). Poster Highlight: Evel Knievel decided to show up literally in the middle of the poster.



I'll take a badly drawn poster over a badly photoshopped one any day. Not only does Encounter with Death (I've decided to translate the ones I know) feature Mario Almada but also his brother Fernando Almada. Two Alamdas for the price of one! I guess someone forgot to color the lady at the bottom. No helicopters in this one but there is a plane, close enough I guess.



The Law of the Streets - Mullet, motorcycle, denim jacket, and chain nunchucks. Nothing says exciting like an argument above a pool table.



The Bionic Macho? I have no idea what's going on here. But I do get Lite-Brite vibes.



A Thousand Miles South? Hell yes, Helicopter! The most interesting part of this poster is Jesus crying on the left side.

That's all I have the time for now. Look for a new installment in the near future. Thanks for enjoying!
